    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Hey guys, gurus and the like. You all gave me advice back when my bike was having issues cranking when hot. I followed your recommendations and fixed it in this thread and was so happy.

Now here we are not even a full two months later and it was all carbed up again. I had to take it apart again last night and clean it out. Now it works like new again. Do I need to do something more than just clean? Do I need to coat it or something? What did I miss?
 
I was going to say its most likely your brushes are worn out, but Lynn beat me to it. :-) :-)

OK I just cleaned them. Maybe that's it. Is there a known good source for them? Or shall I just use the dealer?


Thx guys.
 
If you just cleaned out the inside of the starter motor and have the same problem now it could be the commutator is worn and needs to be re-trued. Once they get out of round or have uneven surface's they can destroy brushes with ease.
 
Everything seems fine since that last cleaning so I am going to wait to see if it happens again. If it does then I will replace the brushes.
